Climb aboard the "knowledge is power" train at Conjunction Junction as Muhlenberg College Summer Theatre presents "Schoolhouse Rock Live!" the musical revue based on the Emmy-winning educational animated series from the 1970s and 1980s.

A six-member cast will re-create memorable songs, including "Three is a Magic Number" and "Conjunction Junction," which were penned by Poconos resident Bob Dorough, a jazz pianist and songwriter.

The hourlong show, recommended for ages 3 to 12, will feature more than a dozen of the songs made famous on the Saturday morning educational cartoon including "Interjections!" and "I'm Just a Bill." The songs were designed to teach children about the planets, government, grammar and multiplication. Actor Josh Tewell will portray a new teacher named Tom who gets advice from his students, who come out of his television and represent the ideas in his head.

The production will feature colorful production numbers and one -- "Interplanet Janet" -- will feature an original video cartoon of the character who flies around the planets.

Dorough wrote more than 20 songs for the original series and penned several environment-themed songs for "Schoolhouse Rock Earth," released on DVD last year.

Before the show kids can color, learn and exercise their minds in the lobby with activity books featuring concepts from the show. The booklets also can be downloaded in advance at www.summerbroadway.org/Schoolhouse.html.
